FTL Advancements

Discovery, Scientific

Longer, more advanced intra-system missions are greenlit. Weyland scientists solve the formula for faster than light (FTL) speed travel. Plans begin to install lunar settlements on the moon. Construction begins on prototype engines for unmanned FTL flights and plans are drawn up for the Heliades project—the first manned FTL space exploration vessel. Lunar terraforming begins. The company makes major acquisitions and breakthroughs in the fields of multinational defense, security, and aerospace technologies. Earth’s nations become overly dependent on corporate sponsorship. FTL probes are launched to seek out worlds that fit the criteria for Weyland Corps’ terraforming plans. Before waiting for data, the company begins rushed preparations for manned flights.
